Jiffy J410 Seed Starter Kit, Clear/Black

We already have a great start on some beautiful sunflowers!

Greta and easy to use and works every time

What I like the most about these is that once you plant the seeds (following the directions), you do not need to water, or worry over them until the seeds sprout. Roots grow easily out of the outer fabric so transplanting is not a shock to the seedling, no roots get damaged. The plastic is rather flimsy. For starting seeds it works fine, I have reused the plastic containers three or four times now.Be aware that these are not outdoor containers, the wind will easily blow the tops away. Inside they work great.

This seed starting kit is perfect for placing on a average-width windowsill. The included pellets are small -- not the smallest that Jiffy makes but not their largest, either. Faster growing seedlings may have to be transplanted to larger indoor peat pots or something similar before they are ready for outside planting.Comparing to filling peat pots with starter soil, the mess with this Jiffy greenhouse is minimal. All you need to do is add warm water, wait for the pellets to expand, and plant your seeds according to the directions on the packet. You use the clear plastic housing as a greenhouse until the seedling sprout. Because you pour water into the tray and not on top of the seedlings, they get watered from below to draw their root systems downward.I use this system every year to start flowers and vegetables indoors. You can keep the trays and tops to refill with separately sold pellets the next year.-- Debbie Lee Wesselmann

Item arrived crushed may not be usable

used to start my seed.

flimsy, top does not stay on, garbage product, threw in trash, the only thing you can use is the peat pellets which I guess is good. other than that, don't expect the top to fit on there. should of just bought the peat pellets in bulk and put cut bottle tops over them to keep the humidity in.

I will buy these again. Great seed starter and so easy to use.
